Day 17
Pauline made it to Temple 37 in record time...she got a ride to the temple from an old teacher of ours. Ms. Yamazato has been meeting up with Pauline at various points thoughout the pilgrimmage, and this time decided to drive Pauline to the temple. Not bad, not bad at all.
Day 19
Pauline is on her way to Temple 44, which would be a ten hour walk, if she walked it. I called her and she was on the train. It won't take as long to get there, and at this pace she'll finish the pilgrimmage much quicker than expected. She says she's physically drained from the walking...I say she's lazy.
Day 21
There's a big typhoon on the way to Japan today. It won't be too bad in Shikoku, just a lot of rain. Pauline is on her way to Temple 51. She met a couple of older ladies who offered to take her to lunch, so she gladly accepted. After lunch, they kept her out of the rain by driving her to the next temple, a 20 km drive. Ah, the random kindness of strangers. She'll call it a day once she arrives at the temple.
